Review: The Devil's Backbone

This is a great movie and its one of those movies that will hold your attention all throughout. There isnt much gore or scary parts but it definetly worth to watch... Especially if you like "The Others" or "The Sixth Sense". I wish more movies would make scripts like this. 5 stars

I like this movie, but didn't this director go on to make the Hellboy movie? not that I'm disrespectin' Hellboy or anything, but the Devil's Backbone is a much superior film.

Devils Backbone is the best Spanish horror movie i´ve seen so far. Love the parts where the boy is being followed by the ghost, especially the keyhole scene:)

:cool:

after seeing this movie and then nodding out to friday the 13th part 3, i went to sleep and had the scariest nightmare i had in long time. it felt like grudge/the devil's backbone. it went like this: I felt like sarah michelle gellar in the grudge and would catch glimpses of ghosts here and there (remember the bus scene). And my friend said she had a dream about signing a contract, but I knew the contract was bad (you had to state your hair color, eye color, etc in the contract). Then, I can see myself waking up from a sleep and walking towards my door and seeing my friend kinda like being hypnotized and sleepwalking towards outside. As soon as i looked outside, i could see a ton of people as ghosts floating around. They were the human ghosts/vampire look but they were floating around and going after the normal people. It reminded me of pac-man where all the ghosts chase pac-man. I ran out to chase my friend so she can stay away from em. Suddenly, I was being chased by a woman ghost and i stopped and pointed my palm out to her to say stop! I was trying to shoot fire out of my palm, but didnt work. She got me and then I shot up to the clouds and I would be the one signing the contract. As soon i signed the contract, i woke up and my heart was racing like crazy. It felt like a contract to enter the gates of heaven but it wasnt (maybe it was selling my soul to the vampire/ghosts) . Oh by the way, Def Leopard was in it too but dont remember exactly how.

Anyways, i think the idea of real life looking vampire/ghosts that go after people as if they were buncha zombies is a great idea.
(put teeth on the lil boy in devil's backbone and make him float around)... must glide around though

This thread freaked me out when I saw it, I just ordered that movie off BestBuy like 10 seconds before I saw this thread... Weird.

Anyway, Del Toro also did Cronos and Blade 2, both of which kiss all sorts of ass.
